OK ... your "diff" doesn't do "unified", but (I'm guessing) it does
"context".  (Hard for me to be absolutely sure, without knowing what
system/diff prog you're using, or seeing the man page.)

But ...

Try "diff -cr dir.orig dir.work", but check your diff man page, and make
sure the -c means "context diff" and that -r means to diff recursively
down thru the dir structures.

The -N in my example is to treat a file that exists in the work dir but
not in the original dir (at all) as if in exists in the original dir, but
is empty (I don't think you need that option for the diff you posted, do
you?).
